This morning, Meal Ticket dropped into Smokin' Betty's (116 S. 11th St., 215-922-6500), which'll officially open to the public today. It's the latest from Susan Schlisman, who owns Chestnut Street's Devil's Alley in addition to the Sam's Grill locations in Wynnewood and Jenkintown.
The modern, wood- and stone-heavy bilevel space (it's clean-lined, so you might think it's a Pan-Asian joint from outside) has room for 170, with nifty little design features like banquettes tailored with old-fashioned fabric and oversize chalkboards on both floors. Full bar, with 16 American crafts on tap� (Beer Lass has the lineup).
The smokin' in the name invokes the barbecue gods, and it's true that slow-and-low meats are well-represented here: We're talking flame-grilled chicken, hickory-smoked St. Louis-style ribs, smoked brisket and sides like mac 'n' cheese, Carolina slaw, baked beans and buttermilk biscuits. But in an ode to Schlisman's long-running Sam's diners, there are also quite a few sandwiches, from fresh-roasted turkey and chicken with broccoli rabe to a buffalo chicken sandwich. Burger options include classic ground sirloin, turkey, housemade veggie, lamb and (yes!) a turk-duck-en burger, featuring a duck rillette with ground chicken and turkey, topped with orange-cranberry relish. Check out menu scans after the jump.
Opening hours: Sun.-Thu., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
